Master Magician Dr Taliesin’s 

Classic Conjuring Magic Show 

Three TWT readers can win double passes to a Classic Conjuring Magic 

Show with master close-up magician Dr Taliesin on Saturday June 15 at 

the Castlereagh Boutique Hotel (169 Castlereagh Street Sydney at 7pm. 

Experience the wonders of 

magical mysteries and classic 

sleight-of-hand with local 

Epping-based master closeup 

and parlour magician and 

member of London’s Magic 

Circle, Dr Taliesin in his interactive, 

freestyle close-up 

magic show Classic Conjuring. 

Set in the elegant Art 

Deco surrounds of the Castlereagh 

Boutique Hotel in 

the heart of Sydney’s CBD, 

Dr Taliesin’s Classic Conjuring 

owes its inspiration 

to the great close-up magicians 

from the Golden Age 

of Magic and beyond, and is 

in fact, just a ‘stone’s throw’ 

away from the original Castlereagh 

Street location 

where world famous magician 

Max Malini premiered 

in Australia a little over one 

century ago. 

Classic Conjuring performances 

are set to run 

monthly with each show 

uniquely tailored to the audience 

with sophisticated, 

timeless, and spell-binding 

magic suitable for all ages 

sure to leave audiences baffled, 

amused and amazed. 

Dr Taliesin, who is also 

known to Sydney audiences 

for his performances 

as a virtuoso violinist with 

Camerata Academica of the 

Play On @ Hunters 

Hill Theatre 

Two TWT readers have 

won double passes to an 

opening night performance 

of Hunters Hill Theatre’s 

new production Play On! 

this Friday June 7 in Hunters 

Hill Town Hall, 22 Alexandra 

Street, Hunters Hill 

at 7.30pm. 

Winners are: Karen 

Swancott. North Epping 

and Gillian Dockrill of Huntleys 

Cove. 

This laugh-a-minute 

comedy tells the story of a 

plucky community theatre 

group trying desperately 

to produce a murder mystery 

play with a plot which 

doesn’t actually have a 

murder, an interfering playwright 

who keeps changing 

the script and an increasingly 

disgruntled cast 

and crew. 

Presented in three acts, 

the audience is witness to 

a rehearsal of the dreadful 

show ‘Murder Most 

Foul’ (Act 1), a disastrous 

dress rehearsal (Act II) and 

‘Opening Night’ performance 

(Act 3), in which an-

The Weekly Times has tracked down a direct descendant of the Woods family, 

whose Gladesville store is featured on the front cover of the new book: A Brief 

History Of Hunters Hill. 

Wednesday 6 June, 2019 THE WEEKLY TIMES 5 

Surprise Birthday Present for Cath’s 90th Birthday 

Woods store descendant delighted with new history book 

Catherine Woods celebrated her ninetieth 

birthday at her North Ryde home yesterday 

(Tuesday) and was thrilled to see the historic 

photograph of her grandfather’s produce 

store. 

“Francis Wood was famous for his produce 

which was grown right here in North Ryde, 

where I have lived for the last 61 years,” she 

said. 

“I remember this wonderful store, which stood 

on the corner of Victoria Road and Cowell 

Street until the 1960s and although it changed 

hands in these years the Woods sign remained. 

“When this cover photograph was taken the 

Woods store would have provided the whole 

of the Hunters Hill municipality with food and 

probably with fresh flowers which were grown 

in the streets around where I live now and have 

names such as Ivy, Lily and Tulip. 

“Back then these streets were just dirt roads 

and the book cover photograph also shows 

that Victoria Road was a dirt road.” 

Catherine Woods is from the Power family 

and changed her name to Woods when she 

married another Francis Woods. 

PICTURED: Catherine Woods holds the 

new book - A Brief History Of Hunters Hill 

– which depicts her grandfather’s Gladesville 

store on the cover. TWT on-the-spot

“My late husband was born in Wharf Road, 

Gladesville and would have known the Woods 

store well,” she said. 

“The story goes that the Woods family came 

out here from England to start the store and I 

would love the Hunters Hill Historical Society 

to find out more about our famous family.”

Walking together 

with courage 

Dear Sir, 

Every year National Reconciliation 

Week gives the 

Australian community a 

chance to raise awareness 

and have an open discussion 

of issues facing Aboriginal 

and Torres Strait 

This year the theme of the 

2019 Reconciliation Week is 

Grounded in Truth: Walk Together 

with Courage. 

Reconciliation is ultimately 

about building effective relationships 

between Aboriginal 

and Torres Strait Islander people 

and other Australians. In 

order to do this we must have 

an open conversation about 

our history that is grounded 

in truth. 

It is important to engage 

with Aboriginal history and 

culture and the only way we 

heal is to acknowledge the 

truth of our past. 

Teaching our Aboriginal and 

Torres Strait Islander young 

people about their culture 

and history is so important for 

building connections to their

Letters to the Editor 

communities and families. 

We don’t shy away from 

our history; rather we believe 

that there is courage in truth 

and that we’re all walking this 

journey together. 

I encourage all Australians 

to continuously learn about 

our country’s cultural history 

and to be culturally aware. 

Through all of our services 

at Youth Off The Streets we 

encourage our young people 

to attend cultural events, participate 

in programs and learn 

about the world’s oldest culture 

and they take immense 

value from this. 

As part of our dedication to 

reconciliation, we have created 

a Reconciliation Action 

Plan to ensure all our staff are 

culturally aware and formally 

trained in cultural competencies 

and will actively embrace 

the principals and practices of 

reconciliation. 

This Reconciliation Week 

we must be grounded in truth 

and walk together with courage.

want to acknowledge the 

media coverage provided 

by TWT, and express how 

grateful we are for the encouragement 

it gives us to 

continue this valuable community

over three years ago to provide 

a social activity for people 

of all abilities.

Seton Villa and Cerebral 

Palsy Alliance who join with 

other local residents to enjoy 

the Disco experience.

Ryde Council 

extra special 

rates hike 

Dear Sir, 

Ryde City Council is 

planning to rake in an 

extra $12.55 million from 

all rateable properties in 

Ryde via a Special Rate 

Variance for the 2019/20 

financial year (and ongoing). 

Ratepayers will have 

missed it, not just because 

of the federal election but 

because Council failed to 

mention it in their advertising 

which concentrated on 

small projects about the 

place. 

You have to look hard to 

find the Draft Delivery Plan 

2019-2023. 

I don’t believe it is a pox 

on Ryde residents by a Labor 

controlled council for 

not voting ALP in the state 

election but instead a way 

of paying for some truly 

extravagant and wasteful 

spending by council. 

In shades of Stuart Ayres 

and the football stadium 

Mayor Laxale wants to 

spend seven or eight million 

dollars to tear down a two 

story building at Christie 

Park and put up a new first 

class building for soccer 

administrators (plus some 

open futsal courts)…and 

Cr Laxale wants you to pay 

for it! 

The thing about Special 

Rate Variances is that there 

is no drop back the next 

year, they continue indefinitely. 

Unfortunately your time for 

making submissions about 

the proposed rate increase 

has past (May 31 closure) so 

get out your cheque books.

Questioning climate 

‘scientific facts’ 

Dear Sir, 

Climate science violates 

the basic precepts of science. 

There are two key pillars of 

science. 

First, it doesn’t matter how 

many “scientists” believe 

something. 

All of them could be proven 

wrong by a single new 

scientific theory or experiment. 

Science is always tentatively 

proven, and it is incumbent 

on everyone who 

calls himself a scientist to 

ask questions even about 

things that are “settled”. 

The great physicist Richard 

Feynman rightly said, 

“Science is the belief in the 

ignorance of experts”. 

Scientists must continually 

question everything and 

everybody.

Five Dock 

Mayhem outside 

community centre 

Dear Sir, 

As a resident of the 

West Ryde Central Square 

apartment building on 

Anthony Road, situated 

directly opposite the 

Community Centre, life is 

normally relatively quiet 

and peaceful, but on Saturday 

evening May 25, the 

opposite was the case. 

A social event had taken 

place in the Community 

Centre on that evening involving 

a very large number 

of guests. 

It ended approx 11.15 pm 

when the guests started to 

spill out onto the street to 

make their way home. 

Unfortunately, the crowd 

lingered en masse, creating 

a lot of noise with high 

pitched shouting, many 

people chatting simultaneously, 

etc, that the deafening 

din easily penetrated the 

double glazed windows and 

balcony doors fitted to our 

building 

I speak on my behalf, 

along with that of the many 

residents with young families 

living within the building, 

whom I suspect, were 

also badly affected by the 

disruption, so very late in 

the evening. 

While it is recognised that 

such events are essential 

for creating and engendering 

goodwill and respect 

within the community, I ask 

all those concerned, to pass 

on a little of your good will 

and respect at such future 

events to all Anthony road 

residents.

Apology for Myall 

Creek massacre 

Dear Sir, 

It almost went unnoticed, 

NSW Labor’s policy 

pre-election announcement 

that there would be 

an apology for the Statesponsored 

massacres of 

Indigenous people. 

This is historic. If only we 

could all see what enormous 

good could flow. 

At Myall Creek, truly a 

massacre of the innocents 

in 1838, I have witnessed 

astonishing reconciliation 

based on a simple, if difficult, 

apology of the heart. 

That is why from Sydney 

I keep returning every June 

long weekend for the commemoration. 

It is now twenty 

years. It is like entering 

another place, a far bigger 

space, a far better country. 

The NSW Liberal party 

grant process also saw Myall 

Creek receive $1m towards 

an iconic cultural and 

educational centre at the 

site. Labor Party policy is to 

commit $3m. 

The Myall Creek story did 

not finish in 1838. It is ongoing, 

and we are all writing 

the next chapters. 

GRAEME CORDINER 

Gladesville 

Amazing 

experience 

at MCC AGM 

Hunters Hill Guest Column 

My first encounter with 

Paris included Notre Dame 

MY FIRST visit to Paris 

was exactly 50 years 

ago. 

I was a 20 years-old 

student visiting and 

staying with my second 

cousin married to a 

French lady. 

Everything that 

has previously been 

dreamed of was now 

becoming part of my 

experience, as per my 

reveries about seeing 

the whole world. 

I knew the paradise 

is out somewhere 

there, and I didn’t know 

exactly where. 

So, my plan was to 

simply cover the whole 

globe. 

Needless to say, my 

first encounter with 

Paris had to include 

Notre Dame. 

* * * 

THE CATHEDRAL left 

an indelible impression 

and during my 

forthcoming numerous 

visits to the city of light 

I never failed to go visit 

Our Lady, elegant, tacit 

and slightly aloof. 

In 2011 I had an 

exhibition of my icons 

near Lyon. 

A friend referred me 

to Bishop Jean-Yves 

Riocreux who was 

the Bishop and Dean 

of Notre Dame for 

12 years, well known 

and beloved by his 

parishioners. 

He is now Monsignor 

and is based in the 

Caribbean. 

Dear Sir, 

Those who attended the 

Macquarie Community 

College Annual General 

Meeting Thursday May 23 

were treated to an “Out of 

this world experience”. 

CEO Theresa Collignon 

was thrilled to tell the meeting 

that the College had 

posted its second profit 

in two years and the College 

had increased its government 

RTO funding as 

claimed in the Director’s 

Report, by a million dollars 

to the highest in MCC’s history. 

What the succession of 

presenters failed to say was 

that with all the wonderful 

news, the gross revenue of 

the college decreased from 

$6.75m to $4.12m and profit 

for the year had fallen by 80 

percent! 

More to the point, the 

$38,521 “profit” included 

$81,617 in bank interest 

from college reserves and 

$240,717 in “other income” 

derived almost entirely from 

renting college property. 

With that taken into account, 

the “trading profit” of 

the college in real terms was 

not a profit but a loss of over 

$280,000. 

Naturally, these comments 

were not well received, nor 

was the reminder that with 

$10m of college assets the 

$38,000 is a paltry return in 

anyone’s language. 

It goes without saying 

that the prime purpose of 

the community college is 

to provide education but 

what is beyond belief that 

this organisation which was 

an outstanding provider of 

education for fifteen years, 

making handsome profits 

which it returned to the 

community, is incapable of 

managing its affairs to call 

itself a “ghost” of a business. 

Later in the meeting when 

chairman Dr Jennifer Green 

was reminded that the 

College had four failed attempts 

to change the outdated 

2003 Constitution, 

she extended an invitation 

for assistance to resolve the 

impasse. 

My offer to help was rejected 

because “some 

members would probably 

disagree with my recommendations”. 

It is quite obvious that 

the Board and executive of 

To The POINT 

with MICHAEL GALOVIC 

The good bishop 

wanted to see my icons 

and potentially acquire 

something for his new 

parish outside Paris. 

We met just outside 

Notre Dame: the 

Bishop, a dear friend 

Harry Bauer who was 

with me at the time, 

and I. 

The vivacious and 

locacious bishop took 

us inside, bypassing 

many tourists and 

led us into parts 

and chambers only 

the priests and their 

helpers are allowed to 

be in. 

He saw the icons, we 

chatted briefly and then 

abruptly he said he had 

to leave for another 

engagement but we 

should not worry, just 

find our way out on our 

own. 

Harry and I looked at 

each other, surrounded 

by the most beautiful 

mediaval treasuries, 

entirely unguarded. 

We were gobsmacked 

by the trust Bishop 

Riocreux had bestowed 

upon us but gradually 

made our way out which 

was far more difficult 

than we imagined due 

to the cathedral’s inner 

sanctum maze. 

* * * 

Macquarie Community College 

is incapable of managing 

its affairs. 

Its only solution is to keep 

members in the dark and 

when they have no other 

option, to feed them on 

false and misleading information.

NDIS funding 

Dear Sir, 

I sincerely empathise 

with Judy Nicholas (Letters 

May 29 2019). 

So, when the symbol 

of all medieval beauty 

her, not only the French 

people, went into flames 

and remained forever 

scarred, I gasped for 

relief, shook my head 

and became one of the 

many who went into

In March the NDIS also 

cut out, without any warning 

or reason, funding for a 

life saving product that they 

had funded for the previous 

two years. 

Without this product my 

son cannot even have a 

drink of water without choking. 

He has multiple physical 

and intellectual disabilities 

and cannot afford the 

monthly cost of this product 

on a pension. 

I have since learned, from 

other sources, that the NDIS 

have tried to palm off this 

funding to the State Health. 

State Health state they 

cannot provide the funding 

for this product because it 

is definitely a disability issue 

and therefore an NDIS funding 

responsibility. 

The victims of the “cheap 

shot” are the vulnerable 

people with severe disabilities 

who cannot speak for 

themselves and whose lives 

are at risk. 

Someone in the Morrison 

Government thought 

they could justify changing 

the NDIS policy of “no one 

would be worse off under 

the NDIS” just so they 

could boast a surplus in the 

budget. 

Where does this leave

like him? This causes 

stress not only on them 

but families and carers

Testing for excess 

iron overloads 

Dear Sir, 

Is the world pumping too 

much iron? June 3 marks 

the start of World Haemochromatosis 

Week. 

Haemochromatosis is the 

most common genetic disorder 

in Australia and causes 

your body to absorb too 

much iron from food. 

It is easy to test, simple to 

treat but tragic to ignore because 

the excess iron overloads 

body tissues, damages 

organs and can cause premature 

death. 

Many people suffer the effects 

of haemochromatosis 

without being diagnosed 

because early symptoms are 

common with other conditions 

and include tiredness 

and aching joints. 

When detected early 

haemochromatosis can be 

managed easily through 

blood donations and is no 

barrier to a normal life or life 

expectancy.

They said my father 

was a frog, but I love 

him with all my heart 

A LOVE of beauty and a fear of being abandoned are the powerful 

themes in a new book written by Hunters Hill octogenarian Margaret 

“Mimi” Scrivener. 

Titled - Mimi, A Memoir – 

this autobiography traces 

her life from a Bohemian 

childhood in Double Bay 

to her current life in one 

of Hunters Hill’s historic 

homes. 

The book is exclusively 

available at the Ironwood 

Coffee Company at 102 

Woolwich Road, Woolwich 

and retails for $32. 

What readers get for this 

modestly priced memoir 

is a lifetime of memories 

that start with the childhood 

loss of her beloved 

and flamboyant father 

and artist Marius Helsen 

through to her marriage to 

elite Sydney surgeon Barrie 

Scrivener. 

“Initially I was inspired 

to write this book because 

I want my family to know 

about my father who was 

French, very charming, 

very talented and very 

handsome but who was 

also a philanderer,” Mimi 

said. 

“In those days French 

people and French culture 

were not as appreciated 

in Australia as they are today, 

so he was also called 

a frog and subject to all 

sorts of insults. 

“But I love my father 

with all my heart and my 

wonderful childhood in 

Double Bay was in every 

way the Bohemian lifestyle 

with artists, writers 

and journalists visiting our 

home all the time.” 

Mimi’s life took a turn 

for the worse when her 

father left for a business 

career in Fiji and she was 

sent to live with horrid foster 

aunts in Drummoyne. 

“When I was seven and 

my mother bedridden 

and my father long gone, 

I lived with this family of 

old sour old spinsters and 

one of them delighted in 

the art of being nasty and 

would say horrible things 

about my father,” Mimi 

said. 

“But I had a penchant for 

being abrupt and confrontational 

and I defended 

my father fiercely.” 

Her close bond to her 

father brought with it a 

love of art and beauty as 

well as a lifelong fear of 

being abandoned by the 

one she loves. 

If the saying is true that 

daughters with a strong 

bond to their fathers will 

marry men who are like 

their fathers, than Mimi’s 

story proves that saying 

to be true. 

“I was a nurse and I fell 

madly in love with my husband 

the first time I saw 

him, it was love at first 

sight, like a thunder clap!” 

“Like my father he was 

handsome, talented and 

charming but just like my 

father he, too, was a philanderer. 

“Here, again, the theme 

of abandonment comes 

into my book.” 

Abandonment does not 

triumph and Mimi’s exceptional 

career takes 

her through a menagerie 

of adventures from her 

establishment of a small 

French language school 

to her management of an 

French restaurant in Glebe 

called Petit Bacchus. 

“I have also restored 14 

heritage houses and have 

worked with three famous 

architects,” she said. 

“This is also why I have 

written this book, so people 

can see that there is 

always hope in times of 

adversity and there will 

always be beautiful things 

in life.” 

Now retired in a Circa 

1911 home, Mimi pursues 

her love of beauty in the 

creation of an award winning 

garden. 

“I do hope that if readers 

get one thing from

of being prepared to 

speak your truth because, 

ultimately, only good can 

come of it.”

from the Mostyn Family 

Foundation which enabled this 

project to proceed.

which was founded in 

1861.”

those who are visiting, this book 

provides essential and interesting 

information about the people 

and the places over the centuries 

that have made this area 

so special,” he said. 

“As you learn more about the 

heritage of the Hunters Hill Municipality, 

there is no doubt you 

will come to further appreciate 

the unique charms.

heritage and a 

commitment to the

Branch financially 

support several 

sporting clubs, art 

societies and local 

schools.

set up by the community

branch had grown 

from strength to 

strength since it was 

established in 2005. 

“Thanks to community 

support, 

and the hard work 

of our branch staff, 

we have been able 

to build the business 

steadily over 

the past 14 years,” 

Southan said. 

“We plan to continue 

to share this 

success with our 

community through 

future grants programs 

and shareholder 

dividends.” 

Since opening its 

doors, North Ryde 

Community Bank® 

Branch has grown 

to boast over $120 

million in banking 

business with more

our ability to channel 

our profits into 

much-needed community 

infrastructure 

and services,” 

he said.

the birthday 

with a cake cutting 

and coffee morning

Action on child safety in Gladesville 

CHILD SAFETY outside Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic School 

in Gladesville could be significantly improved after City of Ryde 

councillors passed a motion calling for traffic control measures. 

The motion by Clr Roy 

Maggio urges Roads 

and Maritime Services 

to incorporate pedestrian 

facilities into the 

traffic signals at the 

intersection of Victoria 

Road and Westminster 

Road to allow students 

to cross safely outside 

their adjacent school. 

The motion also 

authorises council 

staff to liaise with the 

school to place bow 

tie line marking across 

the driveway to the 

school on Westminster 

Road to ensure unrestricted 

access for 

delivery vehicles to the 

school. 

It follows an address 

to the council last 

Tuesday night by the 

Executive Principal of 

the school, Peter Watkins 

(pictured). 

“We have more than 

120 families,” he said. 

“The community supports 

the motion for 

safety. 

“This is a major priority 

for the safety of the 

whole community who 

cross Victoria Road 

daily. 

“I personally have 

seen near misses and 

a pedestrian facility 

would save lives. 

“We urge you to support 

this.”

An artist impression of how the new Ryde Civic Centre could look. 

Mayor hails new civic centre as the heart of Ryde 

THE City of Ryde community will get a say on the proposed redevelopment of 

the iconic Ryde Civic Centre. 

City of Ryde councillors 

last week endorsed the 

community consultation 

process on the proposed 

new civic centre which 

will ensure the Council 

retains complete ownership 

of the site and will 

not increase rates for this 

project. 

The latest community 

consultation comes after 

failed attempts by previous 

council administrations 

to build high rise 

residential apartments on 

the site with a small civic 

component. 

Described by Mayor Jerome 

Laxale as “The New 

Heart of Ryde” the proposed 

redeveloped Ryde 

Civic Centre site offers 

a four-fold increase in 

community space without 

residential development. 

“The New Heart of 

Ryde will be a low impact 

development that 

will address the growing 

demand within Ryde for 

a new and significant accessible 

space that will 

service a diverse range 

of community needs,” 

Mayor Laxale said. 

“Based on strong community 

opposition to 

overdevelopment, this 

plan will not include 

cramming hundreds of 

apartments onto the site 

as has been previously 

proposed.” 

Half of the space will 

house public meeting 

rooms, offices, childcare 

facilities, commercial and 

retail facilities, a plaza 

and open space, on-site 

parking and new council 

chambers. 

The remaining half will 

be dedicated to a flexibly-designed 

cultural and 

community space that 

will cater to a large range 

of activities from concerts 

to theatre groups, 

dance classes, study 

groups, businesses and 

artists among others. 

The existing Ryde Civic 

Centre is currently vacant 

and has been declared to 

be unsafe by SafeWork 

NSW. 

In response to the Safe- 

Work declaration, research 

was undertaken 

by the City of Ryde for 

its Community Strategic 

Plan and the community 

identified a need to plan 

for new cultural and community 

facilities on the 

site. 

This research has since 

been reinforced by the 

feedback the council recently 

received from its 

Social Plan and Creativity 

Strategy community 

consultation process. 

The City of Ryde has 

released indicative images 

of how the redeveloped 

Ryde Civic 

Centre site could look 

(pictured) but the community 

is welcome to 

suggest imaginative 

ideas. 

Mayor Laxale described 

the endorsement of the 

community consultation 

process as a “landmark 

moment” which will “provide 

a roadmap” for the 

council to create a new 

civic and community hub 

that is viable and financially 

sustainable. 

“An upgraded site has 

been talked about for a 

decade and millions of 

dollars have been wasted 

by councils of the past,” 

he said. 

“Now is the time to act 

and provide enormous 

benefits for the community 

for generations to 

come. 

“Given the importance 

of this project I would encourage 

all residents to 

take part in the community 

consultation which 

begins this month.” 

The proposed redevelopment 

will be funded 

by a mix of Council Reserves 

and a loan to be 

serviced primarily by developer 

contributions. 

Councillor Roy Maggio 

has expressed concern 

about the loan and 

argues that any project 

should be funded from 

reserves but Mayor Laxale 

said he wants to ensure 

it is not ratepayers 

who have to bear the entire 

cost. 

“The project is financially 

sustainable and will 

not require an increase 

to Council rates, nor will 

it require any cuts to be 

made to essential services, 

“ he said. 

The New Heart of Ryde 

will also result in the relocation 

of Council staff 

from the current location 

back to the Civic Centre 

site, saving ratepayers 

millions in annual rental 

costs. 

The proposed redevelopment 

was endorsed by 

Council after a number of 

scenarios were considered 

for the site where 

the existing Civic Centre 

and Civic Hall is located. 

The Civic Hall is the 

only active space on the 

site and is near the end of 

its lifespan. 

The Hall will soon be 

unusable and vacant, 

with the community at a 

loss of a large community 

space. 

“A plan needs to be 

made now to continue 

the use of this site for our 

community and generations 

to come,” the Mayor 

said. 

City of Ryde has declared a State of Emergency! 

COUNCILLORS voted by nine votes to two to declare “a state of climate emergency” at last week’s 

council meeting and endorsed a statement that climate change represents one of the greatest threats 

to humanity and civilisation. 

They also warned of “catastrophic 

outcomes” if local councils fail to take 

emergency action. 

“We are already in a climate emergency 

and we have until 2030 to minimise 

the impact,” The Greens Christopher 

Gordon said. 

Labor councillors believe there is still 

hope of survival and congratulated 

those bastions of socialism – Newcastle 

City Council and the Inner West Council 

– for also declaring a state of climate 

change emergency. 

“We can reduce emissions, reduce 

energy consumption, promote solar energy 

and not allow mature trees to be 

removed as well as educating businesses 

to adopt these practices,” Labor Clr 

Penny Pedersen declared. 

Liberal councillors Jordan Lane and 

Chris Moujalli voted against the emergency 

declaration after Clr Lane’s 

amendment to the emergency motion 

that “..the council expresses regret for 

not working with Bennelong MP John 

Alexander..” to fight climate change was 

defeated. 

“It would be madness not to consider 

reaching across and working with the 

newly elected government,” Clr Lane 

said. 

“Twenty two million dollars is being invested 

by the Federal Government for 

on the ground projects and we can receive 

up to $150,000.” 

Liberal Clr Sarkis Yedelian urged 

councillors to set an example by installing 

solar roof panels and saving water 

in tanks while his Liberal colleague Clr 

Trenton Brown warned that climate 

change action requires rethinking the 

economy. 

“Action must be immediate,” he said. 

Former Greens Clr Edwina Clifton 

mentioned the plight of senior citizens 

but linked it to rising food prices as a 

result of climate change. 

“If we lose food production the price of 

food goes up ... we have an ageing population 

on set incomes,” she warned. 

“But what concerns me the most is 

that you will have whole countries unable 

to feed their populations.” 

The City of Ryde now has an Environment 

Department which has been asked 

to plan policies and work programs to


Eastwood student Lakshman is 

a Young Archibald Prize finalist 

THIS self portrait of Marist College Eastwood student Lakshman Nitish Ramesh 

(pictured) is a finalist in the Young Archibald Prize art competition. 

Known as the Young Archies, 

this prestigious competition features 

the works of Australia’s 

brightest young talent with Lakshman’s 

self-portrait was selected in 

the 16-18 years division. 

“He was the only male finalist selected,” 

Marist College Eastwood 

Principal Anthony Boys said. 

“This is the first time a student 

from this College has been entered 

into a national art competition 

of this calibre and it’s wonderful 

to know that his beautiful 

self-portrait now hangs in the Art 

Gallery of NSW. 

“Being selected as a finalist in 

the ‘Young Archie’ competition is a 

massive achievement and a huge 

validation of Lakshman’s perseverance 

and determination. 

“He has also worked diligently at 

refining his drawing skills during 

his high school years both here at 

Marist and this is also a testament 

to the dedication, hard work and 

talents of the College’s Visual Arts 

department.” 

Lakshman said his self portrait 

expresses his feelings. 

“I chose to draw myself as my 

life is in my hands and I am responsible 

for my own actions,” he 

said. 

“I drew myself with a neutral expression, 

portraying how I feel in 

Year 11 with the stress and workload 

that comes along with it. 

“I drew myself in black and white 

to symbolise that I am yet to experience 

life to the fullest. 

“The red, orange and yellow gradient 

symbolises my future experiences, 

opportunities and life that 

will soon fill me with colour.” 

He said his passion for drawing 

started as a child. 

“Drawing helps me relax but I 

can only draw when I’m in the right 

frame of mind.” 

Ten finalists from each age category 

are displayed at the Art Gallery 

of NSW. Winners will be announced 

on August 10, 2019.

THIS coverage is a sequel to “Caring and Catering 

at the CWA” (TWT, 17 April 2019). 

It was the usual busy first day of a new term at the 

Eastwood Uniting Church’s English classes. Apart 

from new-student registration and assessment, the 

students and volunteer teaching staff had gathered 

in the main hall to sing the National Anthem and 

I Am Australian, as well as listen to news and reviews. 

There was also something special in store: the 

ladies from the nearby Country Women’s Association, 

Helene Craig and May Peters, had come to 

share their famous scones, talk about the CWA’s 

close-to-100 years of its founding, and its important 

sponsorship/vital support role to country women 

and children, especially those living in remote 

and drought/flood stricken communities. 

The assembly was shown the array of items for 

sale: scones, farm-fresh honey, jams and marma-

and invited to visit the tea room which is open 

Mondays to Fridays from 10.00am to 3.00pm.

questions asked and answered, the spirit of ‘communities 

coming together for the greater good’ 

was evident in the air.

2019 Sustainability Festival 

Council to deliver ‘The New 

Heart of Ryde’ – without 

residential development 

The City of Ryde has released 

a bold new vision to redevelop 

the Ryde Civic Centre site, 

without any residential 

development. 

Described as the ‘The New 

Heart of Ryde’, it brings 

together 18 months of work in 

which we have listened to the 

community on what they want 

on the site. 

Under our plan, the rebuild of 

the Ryde Civic Centre site will 

result in a four-fold increase 

in the amount of community 

space, including flexible 

performance spaces, meeting 

rooms and a function foyer. 

This will resolve our chronic 

shortage of community space, 

while also free up existing 

community venues around our 

City. 

In addition, the redevelopment 

plans will result in the 

relocation of Council staff back 

to the Civic Centre site, saving 

ratepayers millions in annual 

rental costs. 

All this will be achieved with a 

guarantee that no residential 

development will take place 

on the site, with Council also 

retaining complete ownership 

of the site. 

It will also be 100 per cent 

financially sustainable, 

funded by Council’s 

cash reserves and 

developer contributions 

while not slugging 

residents with rate hikes 

or cuts to services. 

Sincerely, 

Shortly, Council will be asking 

the community to have their 

say on this new and exciting 

vision for the Ryde Civic 

Centre site. 

I would strongly encourage 

everyone to take part in this 

consultation as every bit of 

feedback we receive will go 

a long way in shaping the 

final concept that will be 

considered by Council later in 

the year. 

Stay tuned for more information.

Parramatta News and Views 

Celebrate indigenous culture at the good to see you festival 

THE City of Parramatta will host a number of community events over the coming months as part of a unique Indigenous event program 

alled Warami, a Darug word meaning “good to see you”. 

Events include National Sorry Day, Reconciliation 

Week, Burramatta NAIDOC, NRL Indigenous Round 

matches and will run until September. 

“For more than 60,000 years the Burramattagal people 

have called Parramatta home, so it’s wonderful to have 

an event program that recognises and celebrates our Indigenous 

community and their strong ongoing connection 

to the region,” City of Parramatta Lord MayorAndrew 

Wilson said. 

“Warami also provides an opportunity for the wider 

community to come together to learn about and experience 

the rich culture and traditions of our local Aboriginal 

and Torres Strait Islander people.” 

The program kicked off when the Parramatta Eels 

played the Penrith Panthers as part of the NRL’s Indigenous 

Round at Bankwest Stadium May and featured 

a Darug Welcome Ceremony, led by Darug community 

leaders Peta Strachan and Jie Pittman, and a performance 

featuring traditional dancers and musicians. 

Last month’s National Sorry Day was held at Old Government 

House in Parramatta Park to acknowledge and 

recognise members of the Stolen Generations, Aboriginal 

and Torres Strait Islander people and featured as Smoking 

and Welcome Ceremonies, storytelling, and music 

and dance performances. 

The council will now host heritage walks to interactive 

installations and a market. 

Burramatta NAIDOC returns to Parramatta Park on 

Sunday July 14 from 11am to 6pm. 

This year’s event, which is themed “Voice, Treaty, Truth 

Let’s Work Together For A Shared Future” and will consist 

of traditional and contemporary music and dance 

performances, market stalls and workshops among other 

offerings. 

Telopea Park 

residents will 

get a park say 

CITY of Parramatta Council has invited local 

residents to have their say about plans to 

renew and upgrade Sturt and Acacia parks in 

Telopea. 

The Council is working closely with various community 

stakeholders and is seeking input from residents 

to ensure the upgraded parks will meet their needs. 

“Council wants to know what residents do and don’t 

like about the parks, as well as what features and functionality 

they would like to see in these parks in the 

future,” City of Parramatta Lord Mayor Andrew Wilson 

said. 

“Not only will this information help shape a park that 

responds to the aspirations of park users, but it will 

also help to future-proof recreational facilities and ensure 

these green spaces remain a vital part of the community 

as Telopea undergoes urban renewal.” 

The proposed improvements for community consideration 

include upgraded safety features and lighting; 

playground equipment replacements; new pathways, 

benches and tables; and upgrades to the skate-park, 

courts, and amenities building in Sturt Park. 

The refurbishments will be delivered under the Sturt 

and Acacia Parks Improvement Project, which is funded 

by the State Government. 

“Quality recreation and green spaces are essential for 

community wellbeing. Council hopes that by receiving 

feedback and insights from park users and residents, 

Sturt and Acacia parks will be well used, safe spaces 

that can be fully utilised by people of all ages and abilities,” 

Lord Mayor Wilson said. 

Interested parties are encouraged to have their say 

on Sturt and/or Acacia parks through Council’s online 

engagement portal or by attending community drop-in 

sessions. 

Visit the engagement portal http://oursay.org/cityofparramatta 

for information on the dates and locations 

of the community drop-in sessions, or to submit feedback 

and learn more about the project.

New daily breakfast and lunch 

offerings at Cucinetta Woolwich 

CUCINETTA in Woolwich now offer a sumptuous Italian-flaired 

daily breakfast and Sydney-siders are loving it. 

Created by Vincenzo 

Mazzotta (pictured), Cucinetta 

earned its AGFG Hat 

status thanks to a fusion 

of northern and southern 

Italian flavours rarely seen 

in Australia. 

Thanks to this, the restaurant 

has been garnering 

fans from around the 

world and with the new 

daily breakfast and lunch 

offerings, Mazzotta has 

enticed a whole new clientele. 

Stopping in for a quick 

breakfast at an awardwinning 

restaurant is 

rarely an option anywhere 

in the Woolwich area, but 

now at Cucinetta you can. 

On a chilly morning try 

the mouthwatering baked 

eggs served with sourdough 

with a divine Vittoria 

Coffee. 

If you’re craving something 

sweet, you can’t go 

past the fresh croissants 

made every day. 

Some of Vincenzo’s 

most favourite childhood 

memories revolve around 

Sunday lunch at his Nonna’s 

house, where she 

was in the kitchen making 

Italian classic dishes, that 

now inspire Chef Vincenzo’s 

menu. 

Mazzotta’s food was beloved 

long before he added 

a daily breakfast sitting 

though, and he has one 

secret that separates him 

from Australia’s numerous 

Italian chefs: A rare blend 

of flavour profiles. 

“My food is a mix of the 

Popular Cucinetta dish - baked eggs 

served with toasted and lightly oiled 

sourdough. 

north and south of Italy, 

that’s what makes it different 

from other restaurants,” 

says Mazzotta. 

It’s this unique geographical 

blend that continues 

to surprise and 

delight patrons as they 

see classic seafood dishes 

on the same menu as 

crumbed and fried farm 

zucchini flowers filled with 

cheese. 

These days, the talented 

chef has created the ultimate 

dining experience, 

where his diners embark 

on a culinary adventure 

like no other. 

Cucinetta is committed 

to bringing back old 

school methods. Vincenzo’s 

commitment to only 

using the best produce, 

is one of the reasons why 

patrons and locals keep 

coming back, a value that 

was instilled in him by his 

Nonna. 

“At Cucinetta, we are 

very picky with where we 

source our produce. We 

only use the best to create 

mouthwatering seasonal 

dishes. My Nonna used to 

make extraordinary dishes 

in the kitchen and the 

smells and flavors would 

always intrigue me”. 

Mazzotta’s foods stands 

out, and the reason is simple. 

“Customers say our food 

just tastes better,” says 

the head chef. “Our dishes 

are unique and exclusive 

to Cucinetta, and they’re 

always consistent.” 

The stunning view of the 

Sydney Harbour Bridge 

and the exceptionally 

warm and attentive service 

doesn’t hurt either; 

every single customer is 

made to feel like a celebrity 

when they walk in Cucinetta’s 

doors. 

Whether you’re looking 

for a light lunch, early 

breakfast or stunning dinner 

with captivating views, 

Cucinetta offers something 

for every palate. 

Now trading over of 13 

years, Cucinetta is amplifying 

and setting a new 

standard of love that Australians 

have for Italian 

food. 

With the launch of breakfast 

and lunch, chef Vincenzo’s 

love and passion 

for Italian food will only 

continue to impress new 

and loyal patrons with 

simple, beautiful dishes.

Brothers’ Breakfast at 

Holy Cross College Ryde 

THE Holy Cross College Ryde Class of 2019 

commenced the Big Brother Program before 

their Year 7 ‘Little Brothers’ commenced at 

the College. 

As they finished Primary 

School in 2018, each student 

received a personal 

letter wishing them and 

their families all the best for 

Christmas. 

The letter also included 

the Big Brother’s school 

email for the younger students 

to make contact 

should they have any questions 

or concerns. 

It was great to see many of 

the younger students take 

up the opportunity to alleviate 

any stress associated 

with starting high school. 

Orientation Day at the end 

of 2018 allowed the Big 

Brothers to meet their Little 

Brothers face to face and 

put a name to their face. 

Connections were forged 

and the commencement of 

a strong bond initiated. 

The Patrician spirit of 

‘welcome’ and ‘hospitality’ 

was on display for all to feel 

and see. 

Part of the day saw the 

students - both older and 

younger, share lunch and 

talk all things Holy Cross. 

Day One of the new school 

year in 2019 saw the students 

reconnect where both 

year groups had the school 

to themselves. Tours were 

taken and conversations 

about the do’s and don’t’s, 

and more importantly the 

spirit and culture that is 

Holy Cross College, were 

conducted. 

It was great to see the 

many games of handball 

across the school yard 

where competition peaked 

with many of the junior students 

taking it to the senior 

students in a good old 

fashion rally. 

Last Wednesday (May 29) 

saw the students come together 

again in a fresh initiative 

‘Brothers’ Breakfast.’ 

The Class of 2019, led by 

the College leaders, put on 

breakfast for the younger 

students. 

One on one the students 

sat and had breakfast talking 

about their experiences 

thus far in their short time 

at Holy Cross. Ironically, the 

older boys only have a few 

months left and no doubt 

were reminiscing about 

their times at the College. 

There was great spirit 

and morale which can’t be 

bought. 

It really defined the true 

meaning of ‘brotherhood.’ 

Ryde schoolboys reign 

supreme in touch football 

FAMOUS sporting nursery Holy Cross 

College Ryde stamped themselves the 

powerbase of schoolboy touch football 

after dominating the 2019 Metropolitan 

Catholic Colleges competitions. 

The Ryde titans featured in 

four Touch Football Grand 

Finals and captured three 

championships including 

the prestigious first grade 

trophy which is renowned 

as the best schoolboy 

touch football competition 

among all Catholic schools. 

Australian U/18 representatives

BIG BROTHER PROGRAM A SUCCESS 

When I walked down the Boarder 

Steps for the very first time, I felt a 

rush of emotions. I felt excited. I also 

felt a little nervous, coming from a 

small primary school to a huge 

College, but more happy than 

anything. 

I felt a huge amount of support from the Year 12 

students, the Principal and the teachers at Holy 

Cross. 

I remember on our first day, Mr Stewart said 

“there is absolutely nothing to be worried about, 

you have 700 new brothers along side you” at 

first I thought “wow that’s a lot of brothers, how 

many of them do I have to share a room with?” 

But what it really meant was that I belonged. I 

was starting at a great College that would ensure 

I received a first class education with many happy 

memories along the way. 

— Nikolai Assadi, Holy Spirit Primary School 

When I first walked through the 

gates of Holy Cross College, I was 

nervous and excited at the same 

time. I was welcomed by some 

friends I already knew and was 

happy to see we were in the same 

house. 

At Year 7 Camp which was held in Week 2, I 

made new friends, learnt people’s names and got 

to know my HCT Teacher. I was also taught how 

to read a timetable which I knew I needed to 

know. 

All the boys at Holy Cross College are 

welcoming, friendly and caring. Everyone’s first 

day at High School can be a little nerve racking 

but the teachers and the young men in the white 

shirts are there to comfort you. Trust me, this will 

be the best six years of school. Make the most of 

it! 

— James Hay, Putney Public School 

When I first walked through the 

gates of Holy Cross I was nervous 

about what it was going to be like 

going from a small school to such a 

big one but I was welcomed with 

open arms. 

I was worried that I wouldn’t make any friends 

but we had the Year 7 Camp so the opportunity 

opened up. It is great because you never are 

alone you are always surrounded by friends and 

encouraging teachers that help you push yourself 

past your limits and help you be the best that you 

can be. 

The next six years at Holy Cross are going to be 

the best six years of my life because they are 

going to set me up for the future to come.

Triantis goal 

rescues Magic 

GLADESVILLE Ryde Magic FC can 

consider themselves unlucky to record 

a 1-all draw with Southern Districts 

Raiders in the NSW National 

Premier League 3 competition. 

Pictured is Magic goal scorer Chris Triantis 

(centre) with team mates Kosta Nikas 

and Chris Tomaras post match. 

SD Raiders opened the scoring and led 

1-0 at the break. 

Magic, minus key striker Rosario Occhipinti, 

failed to convert the chances they 

created and had to rely on a Triantis goal 

from the penalty spot to take a share of 

the points. 

Triantis continues to demonstrate the 

silky skills which he showed when playing 

for Newcastle in the A League and has 

become a favourite for all the Magic supporters. 

The draw consolidates Magic’s position in 

the top three and within striking distance of 

the leader. 

This weekend the Christie Park based 

Magic take on Sydney University in a mustwin 

game if they are going to continue their 

journey to the top of the League table. 

In other Christie Park news - GHFA Spirit 

FC rolled St George FA (2-0) with Stewart 

scoring both goals. The win moves Spirit 

into fourth spot on the Federation NSW 

NPL2 competition ladder.

Eastwood priest asks what makes us holy? 

EASTWOOD’s Parish Priest Father Martin Maunsell looks into the 

concept of holiness in this exclusive contribution to The Weekly Times. 

“The English translation 

of the Latin words 

Gaudete et Exsulatate 

is Rejoice and be 

Glad. 

The words of the 

document of this encyclical 

or teaching 

letter comes from 

Pope Francis and is 

to be directed to all 

people. 

Here are some of the 

great insights that the 

Pope wants to convey 

in his teaching letter.

the effort to be constantly 

charitable to 

other people by ways 

of small and constant 

gestures. 

In our present world 

the Pope makes it 

clear that there are 

two subtle yet historical 

enemies that 

is preventing people 

from being truly holy 

and joyful. 

The first is a false 

teaching that known 

as Pelagianism. Essentially 

this is a 

mistaken emphasis

where people feel as 

if they can only do 

God’s will by their 

own resources without 

God’s loving 

spirit. 

The second is Gnosticism 

again a false 

teaching that believes 

that someone’s worth 

before God is dependent 

upon their 

own particular intellect 

and knowledge. 

The strong and 

constant living of the 

Beatitudes so often 

reveals the inner disposition 

of someone 

who is truly holy in the 

here and now. 

The Pope makes the 

point that a truly holy 

person is so often 

“the spark” for other 

people to become 

spiritually alive and 

then be instruments 

of God’s joy and 

peace. 

The call to holiness 

of life is not a suggestion 

for any Christian 

to embrace it is an 

expectation that is a 

lifelong challenge.”

Panthers hockey trio 

to boost Kookaburras 

By CHRIS KARAS 

RYDE-Hunters Hill hockey internationals Tom Craig, Tim 

Brand and Lachlan Sharp are bound for Europe as the Australian 

Kookaburras chase 2019 FIH Pro League honours. 

The former TWT 

Club Six/Ryde Sports 

Foundation Sports 

Star of the Year 

Award winners head 

overseas in dynamic 

form after stand out 

performances during 

the Pacific leg in 

recent weeks. 

All three have shown 

a maturity and skill level 

that far belies their 

years to help the Australian 

team zoom into 

trophy calculations. 

The Kookaburras 

face five matches in 

two weeks to round 

out of the FIH Pro 

League plus potentially 

two more matches in 

the finals to be played 

in the Netherlands in 

late June. 

Australia currently 

sits second in the 

men’s FIH Pro League 

standings ahead of the 

June matches against 

Great Britain ( June 9), 

Spain (June 13), Germany 

(June 16), Belgium 

(June 19) and the 

Netherlands (June 22). 

The Kookaburras are 

narrowly behind top 

ranked Belgium on 

points percentage on 

the standings with the 

further upcoming opponents 

Netherlands 

and Great Britain in 

third and fourth respectively. 

Selectors have made 

several changes from 

the team which recorded 

back-to-back wins 

against New Zealand 

and Argentina before a 

2-0 Test series victory 

against India which 

extended the Kookaburras’ 

winning run 

to nine consecutive 

matches. Experienced 

pair Eddie Ockenden 

and Matthew Swann 

return after being unavailable 

for the Pacific 

leg while Trent Mitton 

(finger) and Dylan 

Wotherspoon (hamstring) 

are selected after 

overcoming injuries 

sustained against New 

Zealand on Anzac Day. 

Twenty year old Brand 

– one of the best young 

prospects on the international 

hockey scene 

- also comes back into 

the squad. Jacob Anderson,

Aaron Kleinschmidt, 

Josh Simmonds and 

Corey Weyer make way 

from the side which 

faced Argentina in 

Australia’s last FIH Pro 

League match for the 

returning quintet. 

Kookaburras coach 

Colin Batch said: 

“We’ve made a few 

changes again. We’re 

looking forward to 

the European tour. We 

think we’ll learn a lot 

playing the European 

teams, starting with 

Great Britain. 

“We’ve got Eddie 

Ockenden and Matt 

Swann coming back 

into the group. Both of 

them were unavailable 

for the Argentina and 

New Zealand games, 

so it’s great to see 

them back in. 

“Trent and Dylan are 

both fully fit and have 

been training well over 

the past few weeks so 

they come back in.” 

Ockenden’s selection 

means he’s likely to 

bring up his 350th cap 

for the Kookaburras 

during the European 

leg. 

The only Australian 

to previously reach the 

mark is Kookaburras 

legend Jamie Dwyer 

who retired on 365 

caps. Ockenden currently 

has 347 caps. 

“We think he’s still 

got some more years 

in front of him,” Batch 

said. 

“His adaptability to 

play quite a number 

of positions has been 

outstanding and he still 

has that enthusiasm to 

play for the Kookaburras 

as he did when he 

first started. He has 

been outstanding over 

a long period of time. 

We congratulate him 

ahead of his 350th.” 

Given the Kookaburras’ 

winning streak and 

current position on the 

FIH Pro League standings, 

the side is well 

placed to push to win 

the title but Batch said 

they weren’t getting 

ahead of themselves. 

“We’ve got a few 

games to go,” he said. 

“Finals are in the distance. 

“We want to 

play well in the five 

games we’ve got. It 

looks as though we’ll 

be in finals but you 

never know so we’re 

not looking too far in 

advance other than the 

Great Britain match. 

“We back up then for 

Spain. It’s about learning 

as much as we can 

about ourselves but 

also what the current 

trends are in Europe.” 

The team flew out of 

Perth for London last 

week and are scheduled 

to face Great Britain 

this Sunday (June 

10); Spain (Friday June 

14); Germany (Sunday 

June 16); Belgium 

(Thursday June 20) and 

Netherlands (Saturday 

June 22). 

Semi-Finals take 

place on Friday June 

28 with Finals on Sunday 

June 30.

TIPSTERS 

Ryde hockey legends Tom Craig, Tim Brand and Lachlan Sharp will represent Australia in the 

European leg of the 2019 FIH Pro Hockey League this month. 

Unbeaten Hawks dominate U/18s 

RYDE EASTWOOD’S all conquering Under 18 rugby league team continues to 

dominate the 2019 NSWRL Combined Sydney Gold competition. 

The talented Hawks 

maintained their unbeaten 

status after 

toppling third placed 

St Johns Lakemba 

Eagles 24-12 last 

Sunday at Panania’s 

Killara Reserve.

It was an emphatic 

victory for the Ryde 

Eastwood cubs with 

crafty hooker Stefan 

Moscarello earning 

the Players’ Player 

award for his superb 

performance 

against the Eagles. 

Balmain S.G Ball 

representatives Livai 

Saukuru and 

Hayden Essery produced 

strong displays 

along with 

hard working prop 

Anthony Bayeh as 

the Hawks outclassed 

St Johns 

to preserve their 

competition lead on 

15 points after six 

rounds. 

Saukuru, a dynamic 

centre, and 

clever half back Essery 

were stand 

outs for Ryde Eastwood 

along with 

powerful number 

nine Moscarello who 

CANBERRA 

RAIDERS 

ignited the Hawks 

with his darting runs 

from dummy half 

and smart off-loads. 

MEANWHILE Ryde 

Eastwood suffered a 

disappointing 34-26 

loss to Wentworthville 

in the Sydney 

Shield competition 

last Sunday at 

Ringrose Park. 

The Hawks were 

poised for victory 

when they led 26-16 

in the second half 

- only to concede 

three late tries in a 

stunning collapse. 

FRIDAY 

JUNE 7 

BANKWEST STADIUM 

7.55PM 

Ryde Eastwood 

half Mitchell Gray 

opened the scoring 

with an 8th minute 

try that was converted 

by fullback 

Josh Rizk before the 

Magpies levelled at 

6-6 in the 14th minute 

after a try from 

prop Solomone Lasalo 

and conversion 

by half Brendon 

Newton. 

The Hawks gained 

the upper hand when 

they established a 

16-6 lead at the interval 

following tries 

by classy hooker 

Tristan Evans-Tsoi 

and back rower Tyler 

Seymour. 

Wentworthville 

hit back with quick 

tries by centre Dennis 

Mataia and utility 

Tyrone Shelley 

before the elusive 

Gray and Evans-Tsoi 

picked up a brace of 

four pointers as the 

Hawks re-asserted 

their authority. 

But the Magpies 

had the last laugh 

with lock Daniel Petralia 

(2) and second 

rower Joshua 

Tuitupou crashing 

over for late tries 

to snatch a spirited 

victory.

Tigers Welcome 

Tricky to Parra! 

Tigers are looking forward to welcome 

Tricky Ricky and his Hot Air Capital 

Faders to the new Parra stadium 

this Friday night. 

By the one eyed Tiger 

We can assure them 

they won’t be frozen 

coz Tigers Supercoach 

Michael 

Madge Maguire has 

got the boys ready 

to serve up some hot 

treatment to our visitors. 

Good news for all 

Tiger fans is the imminent 

return of club 

favourite Chris Lawrence 

who has been 

training strongly 

since his unfortunate 

accident at training 

mishap. 

And we wish Tigers 

skipper and fullback 

Moses Mbye a safe 

return after tonight’s 

State of Oblivion encounter 

in the Cane 

Toad capital. 

Most genuine Tigers 

are already planning 

for our next two outings 

at Australia’s 

best footy ground at 

Leichhardt Oval HQ. 

It’s criminal we only 

have three at home 

this year. Hopefully 

better luck next year. 

Meanwhile now is 

the time to get set 

with the Ma-in-Law’s 

Funeral Fund on the 

Tigers for this year’s 

Grand Final. 

And for an extra tip 

have a bet on the Tigers 

v Bunnies in the 

big day on October 

6 on the 50th anniversary 

or Balmain 

Tigers v Bunnies in 

1969. What a beauty! 

And the same result! 

Meanwhile get out 

to Parra this Friday. 

See ya there. 

Tigers utility star Ryan Matterson is ready if required 

for NSW in tonight’s State of Origin blockbuster 

against Queensland at Suncorp Stadium. 

The ball playing forward is the Blues 18th man and 

would do his State proud. Matterson has turned in 

skilful performances for the Tigers in 2019 and is 

one of the competition’s in-form forwards.
